Sorry did not specify pull intake obviously to change plug wire that's broken

You can get away by opening the plug wire end , bend the black insulator and crimp it back on

???do what now like just cut open the boot is what your saying and crimp it back on then what ?

to replace the wires, the easiest is to pull the intake yessir,


or you can repair the end of the plug wire, by replacing the end of the ignition wire

Yes you can repair the wire. You'll strip about 1/2" of end of wire, revealing conductor wire. You'll fold that conductor wire over wire insulation, put metal end back on, and crimp back together. Pliers can be used. Vaseline or soap help get wire back through boot. :burnout:

I had that happen on about 4 wires, when I only wanted to change the plugs. I just said eff it and ordered a new set of wires. Of course that meant taking off the the dreaded intake but as ive done it before once it was so much easier the 2nd time. Still a PITA due to the time needed but I just replaced all my wires as I didnt want to take a chance a poor crimp job by me.
